Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Patented (pending) Foot Lifter Scale, a device designed to measure the percentage of body weight a patient bears on a footrest. This is part of the Total Lift Bed™ Weight Bearing Control (WBC) system, which is used in various rehabilitation scenarios such as hip and knee replacements, spinal surgery, and long-term rehabilitation.

Specifications and Features
The WBC system provides precise weight-bearing measurements, replacing traditional trial-and-error methods. It helps prevent injuries to both patients and caregivers. The system includes a unique Foot Lifter Scale that shows the exact weight placed on it, indicating how much weight is reduced from the support surface. The Total Lift Bed allows caregivers to adjust the patient's position easily, aiding in the treatment and prevention of pressure ulcers.

Safety and Compliance
The Total Lift Bed is equipped with all necessary safety features and is FDA and CE registered. It complies with EN/IEC 60601-2-38 standards and guidelines to reduce entrapment risks. Optional support surfaces are available for all wound stages, including alternating and rotational low air-loss mattresses.

Benefits and Applications
The system allows for optimal weight-bearing tailored to the patient's medical condition, reducing comorbidities associated with bedrest and shortening hospital stays. Therapists can monitor and adjust the pressure according to treatment programs, receiving real-time feedback on the patient's tolerance and readiness to walk independently or with assistance.

Weight Bearing Control System Short Leaflet-1

Total Lift Bed™ Weight Bearing Control Vitalgo Total Lift Bed brings the first and only true “Weight Bearing Control” ever. The Patented (pending) Foot Lifter Scale senses and indicates the amount of pressure placed on the footrest, thus measuring exactly the percentage of body weight the patient is bearing.

The revolutionary WBC system is a state of the art treatment system that has many applications, such as: G Knee replacement. Spinal surgery.
